Mens conference season begins at home - Thursday/Monday

[Mousegriz]

Griz play two home conference games over the next few days. NAU Saturday December 28th at 7PM.....Sacramento State Monday December 30th at 7PM.

Seems all games will be a challenge for the Griz in conference this year. Of these, it appears Sac State is the better team. Two wins to start the conference season would be a nice start. Hope Griz fans show up for these games.

Saturday and Monday.....I must have been hoping for a game tonight!

I'm not hopeful re the crowd size with the semis in FBS for competition, but I'm going to be there.

I'll be in my seat!
